(AP/RNN) - Authorities announced on Twitter, that they have arrested 29-year-old Travis Reinking, who was taken into custody on Monday.
Police officials said Reinking was arrested behind the apartment complex where he was last spotted, in a wooded area.
Reinking was wanted after opening fire into an Antioch Waffle House on Sunday, killing four people and injuring four others with an assault rifle.
Reinking was semi-nude when he made the attack. He was tackled then had his gun taken away by James Shaw, who was a patron at the restaurant while the shooting occurred.
Shaw rushed the gunman while he was reloading. During the scuffle, Shaw was able to wrestle the gun away and toss it over the counter. That's when the gunman ran off.
Nashville Police Department spokesman Don Aaron said Reinking stole a BMW from a dealership last week.
